Dweezil Zappa appeared on Rick Beato’s YouTube show to share his guitar lessons from Edward Van Halen.
Dweezil first met Edward, who was good friends with his father Frank, when he was 12 years old. In the video above he recalled the moment he first met Edward, played some of his favorite Van Halen riffs, and explained the ease and joy in which Edward played the guitar.
“It’s so natural for him it’s not even a thought,” Zappa told Beato. “When he’s playing his music it sounds the way it does because he’s just like a puppy running in a field. It’s that easy for him.”
